Key West’s feral chickens trace their roots to 1800s settlers from Cuba and the Caribbean. Once kept for food and cockfighting, they were set free after Florida banned cockfighting in 1986. As backyard poultry faded with the rise of supermarkets, the chickens stayed—and now roam the island, with hundreds of cock-a-doodle-doos greeting each day.
Irony is not Dead
While roosters strut, crow, and steal the spotlight, hens are just as numerous—quietly nesting in the background, likely in someone’s hibiscus bush. Chickens don’t really “couple up.” A rooster may romance several hens, but it’s the ladies who do all the work—laying the eggs, incubating them, and raising the chicks. Roosters mostly just shout about it. They don’t help with parenting, though they might chase off a cat or two. And while Key West is overflowing with free-range chickens, there wasn’t a single egg in my grocery store today. Go figure.

High key black and white portrait of a horse. Camino Real, Ajijic, Mexico. Self critique: On this trip, when I packed my camera I didn't realize that I had forgotten to take the wide angle lens (12 mm to 24 mm) off the camera and put back on my 'normal' 28 mm to 300 mm lens. After berating myself for my stupidity, my challenge was to explore photographic subjects that lent themselves to only the wide angle lens.

A macro view of two keys and their reflections. The frame spans 3-inches across.
This is the second of two images on this subject of "keys." Here is the other image.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene is a 3-image focus stack composite and was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 and one SB700 speedlights.
The SB900's were placed 60° CL and 40° CR, two-feet away from and one-foot above the subjects. The CL speedlight was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄8 power; the CR speedlight was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄4 power. Both speedlights were fired through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes.
The SB700 was placed behind and to the left of the subject, 10-inches above and two feet away. It was fired through a snoot and blue gel in Manual mode @ 1⁄8 power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's; the SB700 was placed in SU-4 mode and triggered by the other flashes.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).

Macro mondays: junk. Keys that have no lock. No idea where they came from or why they are even in the. drawer.

An old key from my wife's collection, above a modern one.

HMM all.
This week I've gone for a simple take on 'Made of Metal'. I had an idea in my head all week, but at the last moment it fell through, so this was as a result of a last minute scramble last night to get a submission ready.
I did consider making up three key's to success, but that just seemed a little pretentious to me. So I'll leave it as it is.
Happy Macro Monday!
Keys to open the doors of perception...?
Keys, better tools for the year 2025...?

Happy New Year to you who might see this :)

Sunrise in Key West, FL
High key rainy street shot from outside London King's Cross station.
I really boosted the highlight levels in Camera Raw, to produce this high key offering. This had the duel effect of really bringing out the failing rain in front of the woman's black clothing and bleaching out the unwanted distractions of the background. It has produced a bit of noise but is within acceptable levels I think.
ANSH 118 #2 "Keys"
My car keys, house keys and some padlock keys lying on a work surface in the garage.
Smile on Saturday: Two the same
This pair of matched keys has been in our junk drawer for years. We have absolutely no idea what they're for.
